Our politicians talk and talk about the importance of the United States being "energy independent." But when will these politicians pull together and get something done? We've endured a dominant Democratic Senate that has obstructed all significant energy policy reform. Let's see if we can do more with some young blood for a change. If we elect Cory Gardner and five more energy-supporting senators, we could replace the biggest obstructionist, Harry Reid, leader of the Senate.

Maybe we can actually pursue an all-inclusive energy plan. Just think about the many benefits. Energy independence will improve our national security, increase jobs for the country and accelerate our stagnant economy.

We want immediate support for oil and natural-gas extraction. Finish building the Keystone pipeline. Revive our economy with new jobs across the country and here in Colorado. Our energy plan should include nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas, clean coal and viable, affordable renewable energy.

Our country is hurting. We need to elect six new courageous people to the Senate, so we can fight Democratic inaction. Cory Gardner is a bright, energetic force who will help create sustainable, affordable energy. Help us turn Congressman Cory Gardner into Colorado's next new senator. As Cory would say, "Let's shake up the Senate."
